Kindness Sheep Update 8

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with everyone's blogs. My to-be-read list is so long! My husband's entire family is staying with us for a few weeks because of Ramadan, which starts on Saturday. They've already been here six days, and taking care of them (his parents plus two younger sisters) on top of everything I already have to do for myself and the Little One is running me a little ragged already. But complaints are definitely not welcome, so we've just got to soldier on!

I found a little pocket of time this week to finish up the last 100 stitches on Kindness for the Little Sheep Virtues SAL:

So this, finally, is about 1400 stitches. All I did this week was sew on the little bird buttons and stitch the two sheep in Wisper thread. I decided to go with white because of how dark the border already is. Thanks for all your suggestions! They were really helpful.

I unfortunately haven't had time to swing by my LNS to pick up backing fabric (see above insanity), so this cutie is just going to have to wait in the unfinished drawer until I do.

Sarah, it looks fantastic! I love this series. I have been holding up on doing all of my sheep not knowing what to use. I like the white wisper that you used alot so you may have solved my problem. Enjoy your company. When you get more time, stop by and visit our new blog at stitchingfriendsforever2. We would love to have you. RJ

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied.
